We are blessed and grateful to have created an environment that allowed us to scale to multiple hundred customers within weeks.

Most importantly though, we created an environment that allowed us to level up and grow as individuals.

In order to keep up this trajectory, we always need talent who brings different perspectives, but resonates with the core values.

Here are the most important ones that make up Mailscale so you can decide for yourself if this sounds like you.

🌱 Selfishly Growth-Obsessed

Either you're growing. Or you're dying.

The success of a company consist of the personal success of individuals.

We believe that by becoming our best version as people, we serve others the best.

Mailscale stands for an insatiable desire for leveling up.

Just like it's in the nature of a child to learn and grow.

No matter what you desire - more impact, more money, more personal achievements.

As long as you have a strong desire for growth and you're willing to put in the work, we will welcome you with open arms and help you achieve them.

But if you're happy with where you are and lost your desire to grow or never had it strongly, you won't keep up.

🎯 Monk-Like Essentialists

We try to make every decision with intention.

We believe business and life to be a chess game where every move has a consequence.

From the beginning, we were very deliberate of scaling our product without a front-end to hundreds of customers.

That's because our core product never needed a front-end.

This is not about doing less. It's about doing more of what makes a difference.

If you hate doing unnecessary tasks that don't move the needle.

And like being efficient with solving real problems, focusing on what matters.

Then we will get along very well.

🤝 Radically Honest Communicators

We're solving difficult problems every day.

If it's ever easy, it means we're not challenging ourselves enough.

This is not about working ourselves to misery.

This is about the joy of pushing to new heights, growing and learning.

When everyone holds each other accountable to high standards, naturally disagreements may arise.

Communication and constructive feedback is a core value that makes us stronger as a team.

If you get offended quickly or don't feel comfortable communicating your feelings or feedback, we're afraid it will be difficult.

But if you like to get straight to the point and have the space to express yourself and become better by taking constructive feedback, you will love it.

🎈 Realistic Optimists

We believe negativity and pessimism to take away power.

And positivity and optimism to give power.

So why not choose the latter?

This is not about faking happiness.

It's about looking at problems, acknowledging that something sucks for a minute.

But then proposing a plan of action to solve it and getting to work.

Life becomes really easy with this mentality.

So if you constantly find yourself stuck in negative loops or like to call out problems without solving them - then this is not the place

But if you're a naturally happy human and think in solutions instead of problems - you will thrive in this environment.
